Evaluation Stage Property Footnotes

Royal Gold considers and categorizes an exploration stage property to be an “evaluation stage” property if mineralized material has been identified on the property but reserves have yet to be identified. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission does not recognize the term “mineralized material.” Investors are cautioned not to assume that any part or all of the mineralized material identified on these properties will ever be converted into reserves.

The 1.5% to 2.5% NSR sliding-scale royalty applies to cumulative production above 300,000 ounces at both the Burnakura and Meekatharra-Reedys properties. Once 300,000 ounces have been produced, the royalty begins paying at a per year rate of 1.5% for the next 75,000 ounces per year produced and at a rate of 2.5% on production above 75,000 ounces per year. Cumulative production is estimated at 271,000 ounces as of June 30, 2013.
